The Basilica of Santa María la Mayor in Pontevedra, Spain, is a Catholic parish church begun around 1500 and built in the Isabelline, Plateresque, and Gothic styles characteristic of late medieval Spain. Though constructed in the 16th century, it remained a parish church until January 10, 1962, when Pope John XXIII elevated it to minor basilica status by papal decree. The building was recognized as a historic-artistic monument of National Artistic Treasure in 1931 and holds the designation of Bien de Interés Cultural (Good of Cultural Interest), securing its place among Spain's protected heritage sites.
